I love the part where Tucker Carlson is right, and it’s everybody elses fault that the voters didn’t smack their heads and realize they had all been wrong about the video 5 years ago. The only part he skipped was blaming the actual voters themselves for being lazy moochers who want all the things.

And that’s where the whole narrative of “skewed polls” came from. It was echoed a bit on Fox, but their over-all programming did show all the polls. What I think happened was that individuals within the network were influenced by the stuff coming from these other sources, thus you had Krauthammer predicting a Romney win, the night before the election.

It was 4 year experiment to prove the voters were stupid once, and better smarten up now. And the rightwing mediasphere went about getting through to these mislead knuckleheads by overhyping pointless “scandals”, then BSing about “skewed polls” and a Romney landslide. And now they’re telling voters they were stupid again. You can’t make this shyte up.

Not once in this story is the phrase “Big Brother” deployed. If the story had featured a candidate with an ‘R’ behind their name, the over/under on which Paragraph held the first (of many) references would be 1.5.

FNC did not broadcast Hillary Clinton’s comments from Israel live and stayed on the commercial break.

They did not replay the comments went to the next guest.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., has rewritten a bill that will be voted on next week, which would allow more than 22 agencies — including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Communications Commission — to access Americans’ email, Google Docs files, Facebook wall posts, and Twitter direct messages without a search warrant

COUNTERPUNCH is one of my favorite newsletters of the Left. Dont spend all your time looking for affirmations from the internet or cable. You will never understand anything without listening to counter arguments that might challenge you.

Rghties dissatisfied with Bush wasn’t exactly a unrare phenomenon either. Yet once Obama got into office and quadrupled the deficit, what was the first response from the Left? “How come you didn’t say anything when Bush was President?!? You must just be a racist!!!”

Don’t know why Joe has his head in the sand, The pressure from the Left is critical right now as Obama negotiates the fall off the fiscal cliff. They are extremely vocal in pushing tax increases for the rich and preventing cuts in entitlement or safety-net programs. If he gives, they will go berserk.
